I enjoy sci-fi and would love to support a fellow Dawg.
Woohoo! As soon as it hits the streets, I'll alert you!
Random books from this last year that I enjoyed.
The Tros of Samothrace cycle by Talmont Mundy. First one is Tros of Samothrace hard to find but worth looking for.
The Matthew Corbett novels by Robert McCammon 1st one is Speaks the Night Bird
Any of the Agent Pentergast novels by Preston and Child. First one is Relic
The Traitor Son novels by Miles Cameron the first one is the Red Knight
Masters and Mages by Miles Cameron the first one is Cold Iron
The Sharpe Novels by Benard Cornwall the first one being Sharpe's Tiger. Or really just about anything the man has written the Last Kingdom books are excellent also.
Just out of curiosity, do you dictate your posts? Guessing that's the only way "author" could end up as "offer."
I'd be happy to purchase a few copies! Please message me whenever it's out! Congrats!
I would offer as a read, The Richest Man in Babylon. I know a majority of you all have your finances straight, but a good foundation for the younger people. The wisdom I learned 40 years ago is the reason I can outlast this virus. All my bills are covered for along time. DV me if you want, solid advice in such a short book.
Just started Nabokov’s Lolita last night. Not something to read when sleepy. Keeps you on your toes. Will report back
I second this. Also for the younger people, Richest Man in Babylon is available via audiobook on Spotify :)
I'm not that young, but I just bought it on amazon kindle...had a $3 credit so it was free. Only 50 cents on kindle right now
For those that haven't read Larry Mcmurtry or Cormac MaCarthy........I highly recommend it.
I'd start with the Lonesome Dove series.
The order of the series is
1. Dead man's walk
2. Commanche Moon
3. Lonesome Dove
4. Streets of Laredo
But I'd start with Lonesome Dove
I'm reading "The Naked and the Dead" by Norman Mailer and an academic book about the Iran vs Iraq war.
Love the books. I enjoy when I can watch the TV movies they run based off the books.
The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe. Good one. The movie blah.
Great call. Loved this book and everything I’ve read of Wolfe.... except for Man in Full, surprisingly.
Less than Zero is another one of my favorite 80s novels.
They haven't been released yet but really looking forward to the two new Harry Dresden books . Peace Talks is coming in July and Battle Ground in September. If you haven't checked out Jim Butcher's series I highly recommend it. But do start with the first book Storm Front and go in order , Butcher's builds Harrys character and world , novel by novel and while entertaining as stand alone books the series as a whole is better IMHO when the secondary characters and their backstory is explained.
